I.D. Help

I have a Luger with frame number 2403g, 4"bbl, 9mm.

The trigger and sear safety are marked 03.

The front toggle is marked with byf and a "24"

The extractor and the rear toggle are marked with

a "24".

The receiver is marked with a

large "1938" on top and it is numbered "8783",

with the sear marked "83".

The sideplate is marked "25" and the takedown

lever is marked "76".

What year is the frame?

What do I have, besides knowing that it is a Mauser mfg.

Are the toggles and extractor the original ones for that frame, being marked "24"?

There is a tiny Nazi eagle on the bolt by the front

toggle pin and two small eagles with numbers underneath

with a third small mark resembling an "M" with a downward

sunburst along the right side of the receiver.

Long shot, if anyone has any numbered parts that

would match or I have parts that would match their

piece, I would be willing to trade.

Thanks, andrew

I can say that the parts are from many different guns.

I have a Luger with frame number 2403g, 4"bbl, 9mm.

The trigger and sear safety are marked 03. This matches your frame number.

The front toggle is marked with byf and a "24"

The extractor and the rear toggle are marked with

a "24". These do not match your frame number.

The receiver is marked with a large "1938" on top and it is numbered "8783", with the sear marked "83". This matches your receiver, although I am unsure why the receiver would be marked with a serial also? Guys? & 1938 should be your date of manufacture for the receiver.

The sideplate is marked "25" and the takedown

lever is marked "76". Both are different numbers than the other two sets.

The serial number will usually be marked on the frame, just under the barrel, and then the last two of the serial number is marked through out the gun, in an amazing number of places, so when you have wrong numers, it means that piece does not belong.

You can pick up parts that match your gun, although then selling it as a complete gun is not very ethical. Also, many times the numbers might match, but the font, size, etc., do not, a dead giveaway that your gun is a mismatch.

Other comments guys and I'm sure Gals?

Not to mention that even if you find a matching part that it will function correctly in YOUR gun. Don't forget he purpose for numbering these parts was to keep "hand fitted" parts together. Mismatching parts (even tho they have the same number) can lead to mechanical problems if the parts are not "fitted"... just my last two numbers (02) worth.
